Crunch Time

Right now, Froggy has five respiratory treatments! We do two in the morning, one in the afternoon and two at night. Altogether, Froggy is hooked up to a nebulizer about 3.5 hours a day.

This week I reached out to friends, begging for kids videos, to help entertain Froggy. Our lovely friends dropped off about 45 dvds! And tonight our DVD player broke. I just love the irony.

When Froggy refused her hour-long treatment, I pulled out some books. In the past, it has been difficult turning the pages and holding the nebulizer cup, but Froggy complied and held it on her own. We read about 10 books and the break from Barney and Teletubbies was great. If I can keep up the momentum of "Mommy doing funny voices," and if Froggy continues holding her own, maybe we can cut out tv altogether!
